Auto paint: the 1997 GMC Suburban
For paint work on the 1997 GMC Suburban, it starts with a short request: what it needs and when. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
The car itself
As a van, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
What happens after you ask
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Aftercare
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
Why prices differ
Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car.
How long you are without it
Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner. Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished.
A few things first
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
